PJON is an experimental, multi-master, software-defined network protocol stack for microcontrollers and general-purpose systems, supporting many media such as serial, RS485, LoRa, UDP, TCP, MQTT, and ESPNOW. It is an Arduino-compatible C++ library with a small footprint, designed as a low-cost alternative to I2C, 1-Wire, and even IP in some scenarios.
Use cases
- communicate between arduino boards over a single wire
- build a multi-master sensor network for home automation
- send messages between esp32 devices over espnow or lora
- replace i2c or 1-wire with a more resilient bus protocol
- network attiny and teensy microcontrollers over rs485
- bridge microcontroller networks to mqtt or tcp/ip
- connect raspberry pi to arduino over serial
When to choose
- you need cheap, low-footprint device-to-device networking on microcontrollers
- you want one protocol abstraction over many media like serial, radio, and lora
- you need multi-master communication without extra hardware
When to avoid
- you need a production-grade, standards-based network stack
- you require high throughput or heavy security features
- you want guaranteed long-term maintenance or a standard license
